A Christmas Update
It’s Christmas Day in España and los dos have been here two and a half weeks. Things are not as chaotic now as was the harrowing migration here. We’ve had time to explore Córdoba and we’ve done a couple of day trips. Which means we have some pix to share, along with some updates that…

A long strange trip (part 7) – wherein our sad tale inclines to a happy ending (because it had to, right? all that crazy shit could not go on forever…)
In case you somehow missed them all: Part 1, Part2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6 But first, how about some pix?! Humans are pattern makers. Find two Best Westerns that allow pets and you really ought to keep checking the Best Westerns. Which is how we found the Best Western in Lyons, France. Lyons was about…

A long strange trip (part 6)
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 The Best Western? The place that took pets in Denver about a million years ago? The clerk at the Hotel Frankfurt Messe was pointing down the street. But he could as well have been the messiah, pointing at heaven. Was there really a Best Western…

A long strange trip (Part 5)
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2, Part 3, Part 4 So it turns out there was a bit of an upside here, stranded in Frankfurt with no day light or electronics or paper maps. We’d slept. No, really, we both somehow managed to sleep a few hours amid all that leg room between Denver and Frankfurt.…

A long strange trip (Part 4)
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2, Part 3 With pets and luggage back on board the feckless Rees train to Cordoba, we connected with Lufthansa customer service again and received confirmation of a $2,000 refund for the Business class seats that had never materialized. Then we went for a vehicle at the Sixt counter. Figuring…

A long strange trip (Part 3)
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2 The plan going in was to fly to Frankfurt with a late morning arrival, then connect to a flight to Madrid in early afternoon, rent a van, and drive to a Madrid hotel we had booked way back in November for December 3 & 4. None of…

A long strange trip (Part 2)
In case you missed it: Part 1 In transit, from the Denver airport, then back to the Denver airport, then across the Atlantic to Frankfurt, Germany, we’ve taken almost no pictures. No question we’re exhausted, quite demoralized and wondering what’s next. And when you’re wondering why the hell you ever decided to sell your home…

A long strange trip (part 1)
How does one get from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Cordoba Spain? It’s a long long story. One that doesn’t start at the Albuquerque airport because one can’t fly with a dog and two cats from Albuquerque to somewhere else and then on to Europe. It took us 6 days in fact, to get from…
